Who I'd like to meet:
Meet in person? Some absent friends and relatives...who are gone forever. I can't hang out with every band I do artwork for and I don't want to meet every person I'm in touch with over the net.
There's always an exception to every rule, though. So...
[The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club]
About comments, they are welcome, but:
Don't just thank me for the add (you can do much better than that..?).
SORRY : No commercial postings - not even from friends. WILL BE REMOVED.
BUT: Requests from individual people ARE 100% WELCOME. Feel free.
If you are a friend of mine, you should be a a friend of Kaapuveikko (Blue Hood).
Veikko, he's like a son or a brother or an uncle to me.
La Cosa Nostra - Men of Honour.

Juu, laitetaan ku ehditään. Jos et oo vielä kuullu, ollaan vanhan poppoon kans tekees näillä näkymin wanhoista biiseistä "päivitettyjä" nauhotuksia ja ehkä pari uuttakin... Kokoonpano on vähä vielä auki, mut minä, Pasi ja Kimmo ollaan ainakin mukana. Mika ehkä, jos keuhkot vaan kestää..... Rumpalia en paljasta vielä, mut sen verta voin sanoo, et monelta voi "monttu" loksahtaa sijoiltaan, jos asiat etenee suunnitellusti.....T: Junnu

Hello Juha!! I wanted to send you a message, but MySpace didn't allow it, so it has to be here... Your holidays whishes were lovely and with meaning. Loved to learn that Finnish word for Christmas real significance. :) Yes, northern countries still have a lot of pagan evidences in their daily living, mainly for their isolation and resistence to the christian occupation. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to retribute you in time... I don't come here much anymore. At least until the 4th February it will be like that. I'm buried in work... :( I'm having a 2 months internship that only ends by that time. I whish you all the best and keep up with your visionary works!
so nice of you to stop by my page and listen to some type o negative with me (smiling). many of your interests on your page are intriguing to me and would love to chat sometime. be well
Hello JVu Thanks for the great honor you have given me in remembering my song False Messiah from 1984,I think it fits in well with the Christmas season,JACK
